There were no South Korean injuries and it was unclear whether it was an accident or an intentional provocation, the official said. He asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

it was an accident

Theoretically it is possible, but I doubt it.

The statement actually means that Lee Myung-bak want to believe it was an accident. He and his advisers initially wanted to believe that N. Korea did not sink Cheonan.

Prior to Cheonan incident, Lee has been working hard to arrange another Inter-Korean Summit, and was eager to reap political dividend from it. Chia Head screwed him badly.

As for G-20 Summit, he guy basically volunteered to be blackmailed by hosting it.

The guy is always up for cheap political PR, eager to make him look good, whatever the consequence is.
